The History and Principles of the Civil: Law of Rome; An Aid to the Study of Scientific and Comparative Jurisprudence (Classic Reprint) - Softcover
Synopsis
A clear, engaging guide to the history and core ideas of Roman civil law and its enduring influence on modern law.
The History and Principles of the Civil Law of Rome, An Aid to the Study of Scientific and Comparative Jurisprudence, offers a concise, English-language exploration of Roman law from its earliest form to the Justinian era. It presents both the story of how the law formed and the lasting patterns that shaped European and international legal thought. Written for both students and general readers, it connects law, religion, commerce, and government in a way that clarifies why Roman ideas remain central today.
The work is organized in two parts. The first traces the formation and development of Roman law up to the death of Justinian, covering topics such as the XII Tables, the growth of unwritten law, judicial legislation, statutory law and codification, and the transition from ancient to later legal systems. The second part surveys the substance of the law during Justinian’s reign, detailing general subjects like persons, things, acts, rights, and remedies, and examining how these elements interact in ownership, contracts, and various legal instruments.
- Offers a two-part framework: historical formation and the practical substance of law under Justinian.
- Explains major topics such as unwritten law, codification, and the evolution of legal procedures.
- Frames Roman law in terms of persons, things, acts, rights, and remedies to aid understanding and comparison.
- Designed for professional students and readers new to Roman legal history, with accessible English-language presentation.
Ideal for readers of law, history, and European legal traditions who seek a compact, study-friendly introduction to Roman civil law and its influence on modern codes.
